Nearly every morning this week I've been struck by how spring-like everything is. Trees breaking out in cherry-pink and apple-blossom white, just th smell of spring in the air. Then of course, I wake up today to find snow in the air. I know that it's not unheard of in March and that it was forecast but it still surprised me.
I seem to remember snow in June one year when I was still at primary school. I can't tell you exactly which year or even if it definitely happened. It's more of an impression that I have. It was, after all, a long time ago now.
And speaking of a long time ago, I know that Nicotine replacement patches say on the packs that they may interfere with sleep patterns (or something like that) but if I'd realised quite how much of a problem sleeping would become I may well have kept smoking! I'm now taking a herbal remedy (not that kind of herbal remedy!) to try to combat it. I can either get to sleep straight away and then wake during the night or have hell and all trouble settling before sleeping through. Quite frankly, it's a pain in the arse. I even downloaded an app to my new phone which will play "ambient" sounds - wind, rain, birdsong etc etc. Does it help? Hard to say but I'm about to try again.
I'm actually developing a headache so the time to turn off the computer has clearly come. Sweet dreams, everyone.

My father in law, the retired sleep specialist, suggested melatonin to me when I was waking in the night and couldn't go back to sleep. One 1 mg tablet, under your tongue. You take it at different times depending on what your problem is: falling asleep, staying asleep, etc. You can find them at vitamin shops. good luck!
